MAIN FEATURES

PRODUCT SAFETY AND HEALTH STATEMENTS

Safety for your dog

Studies conducted by animal health professionals at

Dogtra Company’s training facilities showed no

adverse effects to the cardiovascular or nervous system

of dogs from e-collar stimulation. These studies

involved healthy dogs in a controlled environment.

Dogs should be in good health during any e-collar

training. Dogtra e-collars are not intended for use on

dogs weighing less than 12 pounds or under 6 months

of age.

Skin irritation can occur from prolonged wearing of

the stainless steel contact points on the training collar.

Most dogs will exhibit some type of irritation (pressure

necrosis) from prolonged contact of stainless steel

contact points. This is why it states in your owner’s

manual:

Attention:

Avoid having the dog wear the collar with the

contact points in the same place for more than 8 hours at

a time. Leaving the contact points on the same spot for

an extended period of time can cause skin irritation.

If the dog is to wear the e-collar for long periods,

occasionally reposition the collar so that the contact

points are moved to a different spot on the dog’s neck.

PRODUCT SAFETY AND HEALTH STATEMENTS

Proper e-collar use

e-collars are intended for the sole

purpose of behavior modification of dogs. They are

not intended for human use or use on other animals.

Dogtra Company does not assume any liability for

improper use of the Dogtra e-collar.

Aggressive dogs

does not recommend using the e-collar to

correct dogs that are aggressive towards other dogs

or people. In many such cases the dog will associate

the stimulation with the other dog or individual and

become even more aggressive. Dog aggression is

best treated by a dog training specialist.

Interference with other electronic devices

Dogtra’s industry-leading technology filtering

system ensures minimal interference with other

electronic devices (cellular phones, security systems,

etc.). Our digital microprocessor offers thousands of

unique codes to eliminate frequency match-up with

other Dogtra e-collars.

Inadvertent activation

If the constant button is held down for 12

seconds or more the unit will automatically shut

down. It will reactivate when the button is released.

DESCRIPTION OF TRANSMITTER PARTS

Transmitter Antenna

A heavy-duty 3.2 antenna is supplied with

the transmitter.

The antenna should be screwed into the top of

the transmitter to ensure that the signals are sent

properly to the collar receiver and that maximum

range is attained.

DESCRIPTION OF COLLAR / RECEIVER PARTS

Fitting the Collar on the Dog

The collar should be fitted so that the

stainless steel contact points press firmly against

the dog’s skin.

A loose fit can allow the collar to move

around on the dog’s neck. When this happens the

contact points may rub the skin and cause

irritation. If the collar is too loose, electrical

contact will be inconsistent and your corrections

will be inconsistent also.

green = full charge, amber = medium charge

red = needs charge

When the “Constant” button on the

transmitter is pushed, the collar indicator light

will glow steadily as long as you hold the button

down, for up to twelve seconds. When the

“Nick” button is pushed, the light comes on for a

fraction of a second.

BATTERY CHARGER

DESCRIPTION OF COLLAR / RECEIVER PARTS

The battery charger and charging cables allow

you to charge both the transmitter and receiver at

the same time. The battery charger is designed for

a 120-volt wall outlet. (European 230-volt AC

chargers and 12-volt field charger for your

automobile are also available.)

To use the battery charger for the a multiple-

dog unit, combine additional sets of battery

charging (splitter) cables as shown. This enables

you to charge the transmitter and all receivers at

the same time.

BATTERY CHARGER

120 volt Charger

Charging Cable

Receiver Battery Charging Receptacle

On the inside of the collar, next to the collar

strap, is a battery charging receptacle with a

rubber cover plug.

Internal Antenna

The has a non-

exposed antenna that is located inside the collar

receiver.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES

2. Do not charge the batteries near any

flammable substances.

3. Fully charge the batteries for 10 hours if the

collar is to be stored without use for a

period of a month or more.

4. Recharge the battery if :

- the indicator light on the collar is emitting

a red color

- the indicator light on the transmitter or

receiver will not come on

- the indicator light on the transmitter or

receiver comes on momentarily but will

not stay on when the “Constant” button is

pushed.

In this case, charge the unit for a full 10

hours.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES

uses Ni-MH (Nickel-Metal-Hydride)

batteries that do not set a memory and can be

charged on a regular basis without harm to the

battery. There is no need to completely drain the

batteries between charges. However, doing so

will help to extend the overall lifetime of the

batteries.

1. Charge the batteries for 10 hours before

using the collar for the first time.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES

TESTING

1. Turn the collar on by pressing the button on

the back side of the collar receiver. The

indicator light will come on for a moment

then blink once every two seconds, showing

that the collar is ready to use. (If the

indicator light is red, the batteries need to be

charged.) Place the test light on the contact

points of receiver and hold it there.

TESTING YOUR

COLLAR

CHARGING THE BATTERIES

Battery Charging Procedure

1. Attach the charging cables to both the

transmitter and receiver(s), as shown on

page 22.

2. Plug the charger into a 120-volt wall outlet

or, if using the accessory field charger,

plug into a cigarette lighter. (Use a 230-

volt European charger for Europe.) When

properly plugged in, all indicator lights

should glow red.

The receiver automatically turns off when

you insert the charging cable into the

battery charging receptacle on the receiver.

3. After charging, cover the battery charging

receptacles with the rubber plugs on the

transmitter and receiver.

4. The battery is fully charged with a 10-hour

charge. The lights will stay red during the

charging process. They DO NOT turn

green when fully charged. Charging the

batteries for more than 10 hours at one time

will not extend battery life.

TESTING

OPERATING

Fitting the Collar

The collar strap should be adjusted so that

the contact points are held firmly against the

dog’s skin. If the collar is too loose, irritation

may result from the contact points rubbing

against the skin.

If the dog has a heavy coat, move the

receiver up and down to work the contact points

down into the coat.

ATTENTION!

Avoid having the dog wear the collar with

the contact points in the same place for more

than 8 hours at a time. Leaving the points on

the same spot for extended periods of time

can cause skin irritation. If the dog is to wear

the e-collar for long periods, occasionally

reposition the collar so that the contact points

are moved to a different spot on the dog’s

neck.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

2. Watch the test light as you push the “Nick”

button on the transmitter. It should light for

just a moment.

3. Watch the test light as you push the

“Constant” button on the transmitter. It should

glow brightly. As a safety feature, the collar

receiver will automatically shut off stimulation

if the constant button is depressed for twelve

seconds or longer.

4. Change the intensity dial on the transmitter

clockwise and then counterclockwise. The test

light should glow brighter with higher levels of

stimulation and dimmer with lower levels.

MAINTENANCE

The receiver and collar strap should be

cleaned periodically with detergent and water to

prevent malfunction.

Always clean and rinse the collar thoroughly

with tap water after use in salt water. Be sure the

charging receptacle is completely dry before

inserting the battery charger into the transmitter

or receiver.

OPERATING

Intensity Selection

To select the intensity level, start on the

lowest (1) setting. Gradually increase the level

until you get a response from the dog that would

be equivalent to a quick pull or jerk with a leash.

Remember that you will need to adjust the

setting (upward or downward) as the dog’s

attitude changes, especially during times of

increased excitement or distraction.
